Everything has garlic to keep the gentlemen at bay!

I am in hog heaven as my wife just surprised me with some Jack Daniels Honey Whiskey Bacon Jam ( honey whiskey, honey, uncured Bacon and other stuff ). She tells me to come in the kitchen and has this on a cracker with cream cheese and says, " Try this little surprise ." Unreal.........

[PatrickStapler]

If she starts mixing you drinks, well…get some stretches in.

Your hog heaven reference made me want some pulled pork and south fried chicken.
One of my favorite places when at Myrtle.

@302BOB you’ve never had Mexican cornbread? That’s essentially all it is. Nothing I made up. I was just using items I had on hand to make a quick simple dinner…and yes, that’s all we had for dinner. Warm, spicy, cheesy, and filling.

 

[TMSBOSS]

My wife made a 16 bean and ham soup today. Amazing. Ham bone left over from Christmas dinner.

 

[PatrickStapler]

No pics of breakfast, biscuits, gravy, bacon…feel like I have posted those several times already.

The required items for the day, black-eyed peas, collards…there’s some cornbread in there somewhere…



The main event…a 15 year tradition for Holly and I now…

Seared flat iron steak romaine salad with a Thai chili vinaigrette…

 

[Bill Pemberton]

Damn Patrick, I showed my wife this picture and she immediately said, " Get him to send you the recipe."

 

[PatrickStapler]

@Bill Pemberton I will send tomorrow. I found it today at work and saved it on my desktop. The vinaigrette is killer.

 

[PatrickStapler]

@Bill Pemberton here you do. I did a few things different, I used olive oil in the dressing and I used a jalapeno. We haven't seen serrano peppers around here in several years for some reason. Also left out the sugar and added the avocado.

My wife thanks you and I thank you and since I live in the Beef State I will likely substitute the Flat Iron steak with a filet!

Dang, now I am hungry and it is only Breakfast time!

 

[PatrickStapler]

Filet would be good also. I used the flat iron because that's what we had from the Butcher Box.

 

[Bill Pemberton]

I do a little grilling around our house, and I don't have the expertise of Chef Stapler, but my wife is a regular Julia Child , though she would never admit it. We had so much to eat I could not get everything in one picture, so here are just a few photos of the desserts and some of the snacks back during Christmas.

 

[PatrickStapler]

I'll take some of those chocolate cars...

Those are Ye Olde Faithful, original from scratch, " Grandmother Ford's " fudge recipe with walnuts. Yep, my Grandparent's last name was Ford!
